Descending into mindles violence an charges now.... don't see the point

It's sick that police have been indiscriminately attacking, beating people over the head, people on the floor etc with batons, disgusting. Police should DEFEND themselves, think logically and intelligently police. Randomly attacking any protestor in a crowd with a baton?

DO you want to piss them off, enrage the crowd and stir more violence? seriously

Debt is a stock, deficit is a flow. You magically reclaim that £25bn, you reduce the flow by £25bn.

sorry but i think you are mistaken all i said was that the tax avoidance would remove the need for the government cuts which are £83bn over 4 years, which is completely true. The government is also obviously using other ways to get rid of the deficit other than these £83bn.

The cuts amount to a reduction in spending of £83bn per year by 4 years time. You are somewhat mistaken if you think that can overly optimistic figure for tax avoidance (which is perfectly legal) of £25bn will stop the need for cuts.

you are aware a student is in hospital after having an operation on their brain due to police actions?

You are aware that you have no idea of the situation that occurred? He was probably in a crowd of people rushing towards the police. You have no idea whether the policeman was justified to use that force. Yes, it's undeniably horrible that he's gained these injuries, but what would be better? Letting students run wild in London with no control? I think the general population support the police over this matter.

i don't think force that can cause bleeding on the brain is ever justified. What does hitting them on the head do?? Does he look like a violent thug????? God some peoples attitudes are depressing.

Read his story. He was trying to escape from the kettle.

And when is striking somebody so hard on the head justified? That's not self defense

If a member of the public did the same thing, it would be grievous bodily harm
